Examophobia!

-



                                                             Who has Liked exams? From the very confusing and Infamous, mathematics to the sleepiness quotient, History, I don’t know anyone who has liked exams! I, too hate exams. I expect the same from you too!  The fear of Examinations or Examophobia as I call it is prevalent over almost every student in India, or even worse, the world! The format of examination is very traumatizing.  The way they exert pressure is very awful! I know everybody has to go through this process  in their early ages.

 
That's the Title!

                              
                                                First, for students who are doing their CBSE exams coming 14 september, All the very best, for I am one of them. And, the process of examinations is actually very difficult. Exams are just tests for memorizing something and “Vomiting” the memorized thing, then forgetting about it Immediately. For me, this is no challenge. The need of the hour is, that students should actually understand. All they study for is “marks” and just that.
 

                                  Unlike most students, some students do not do well . Everyone who don’t pass/do well in an exam should not always be bad. Mahatma Gandhi did not pass any examination, Jawaharlal Nehru did not write any examination, and sachin tendulkar didn’t pass 10th grade![not most students, as the reason is stated above. Welcome!]

Where's your Test Paper?


                             Even worse, many students have commited Suicide for not doing their exams properly, or in the fear of getting humiliated by the public for not scoring good marks. More than that, Good marks won’t do, only a hundred will do. If you check every house in India, the Parents want their Daughter/Son to score a centum in everything.  First in athletics, Studies , Competitions, Everything. Poor students cannot handle the pressure and commit Suicide for fear of getting humiliated by THEIR own Parents! If people are so fascinated by 100, why don’t you make your state’s voting percentage 100%?

Scared? or Excited? I feel Both!


                                                                       
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   
P.S:  Unfortunately, the need of marks is still the key to opening many options for us. And my Best wishes to anyone who is going to write an Exam soon, and I hope you don’t get an examophobia!

What Happened?

So, before we get into the meat and potatoes of this particular journal, I just want to wish all of you a safe quarantine period! Hopefully you can use the sheer amount of free time we have due to a lockdown in India right now to much better and productive uses than I have: p ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It’s been a year, almost two, since I ever posted on this website. What happened? Let me explain. To be brutally and respectfully honest, I don’t know myself. I just, lost all enthusiasm and inspiration I once housed for writing. When I first started writing, and, even reading for that matter, was because I was coerced by my loving (begrudgingly, if I say so myself,) sister, telling me to read some ‘real stuff’; not only those boring and apparently ‘tasteless’ Amar Chitra Katha comics! That conversation enlightened me on a few aspects of my personality. It helped me realize that I a...

Winning the Science Exhibition!

I never got selected to participate in the finals for the science exhibition for 5 years in a row. Most of the schools in the world have their science exhibitions straight away and who explains the best and brings a good model wins. But the rules are different in our school. First, we have a selection round and then who explains the best and has the best model gets selected for the final round. Artificial Satellite All these years I had explained well but I never had time to make a good model. So, that is the reason why I could not get selected for so many years. But this year fortunately I had the time to make my own.  The topic was about the artificial satellite. So I made a  model of the communication satellite. This time I also explained well and also had a good model. So, I got selected to participate in the final round for the science exhibition. Finally the day had come!!!! I had my model ready and my presentation too.  At the school, we had t...
